Plantaurama save the trauma

There is a plant for all seasons and a plant for all spaces. When we first bought our house we were faced with the saddest thing. Two planters on the porch with dead grey dusty rosemary. I plucked out the two and gave them a proper plant funeral, down behind the azelea bushes. Most people don't realize you have to pick your plants for the space. Get alot of hot dry sun don't plant Pansies~they need some shade and moisture. Got a shaded porch plant shade plants but if you forget to water...alot do something that can take it. Plants are like people they have personalities wants and needs. Since we take them out of their natural surroundings it's up to us to supply their needs. Water, sun and soil with the correct balance of furtilizer and ph sounds complicated but it's just a matter of being willing to learn. If your planning on growing anything get your soil tested it's fairly cheap and allows you to amend the soil so you get good results and fewer heartaches. Know that you will have problems. Nature is harsh. A beautiful row of plants that you spent days planting, watering and nurturing can be eatten by a squirrel or bunny in minutes. My family call me squirrel obcessed and spend a lot of time sending me Foamy, the squirrel jokes because I once clocked a squirrel with a potato for eating my iris bulbs. (I hate squirrels they're rats with fluffy tails.) Get a kind trap load it with...iris bulbs or peanut butter and take them far far away...........The further the better.
